Broncos sign AAF quarterback to practice squad

After waiving Chad Kelly, the Broncos needed another quarterback. So the team signed free agent Garrett Grayson to its 10-man practice squad, according to The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala.

Denver had an opening on the practice squad after promoting wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie to the 53-man roster. McKenzie was promoted to take the roster spot vacated by Kelly.

Grayson (6-2, 213 pounds) is a 27-year-old quarterback that entered the NFL as a third-round pick out of Colorado State with the Saints in 2015. He lasted just two seasons in New Orleans and spent last year on the Falcons’ practice squad.

Before joining the Broncos, Grayson was under contract with the Salt Lake Stallions, a team set to begin play in the Alliance of American Football in February. As of Thursday morning, Grayson was still listed on the Stallions’ roster.
